Description
Elevation in section and plan view of the gravimetric calorimeter designed by John Joly for experimental verification of the method of condensation applied to the determination of specific heat.
Illustration from the manuscript version of the paper ‘On the method of condensation in calorimetry’, by John Joly, Proceedings of the Royal Society, vol.41 (1886), pp.352-371. This drawing appeared as plate 7, accompanying the printed paper.
Inscribed in ink above: ‘A Gravimetric Calorimeter.’ Inscribed below: ‘J.J. Del. Scale Full Size. Proc. J.Joly (2) 1887.’
